Another theory I wonder is possible is if Dominque is or maybe knows someone who is a long lost Abbott. And maybe the secret is there is at least one other Abbott out there who is qualified/eligible to run Jabot.

Here are upcoming spoilers from SOD:
Victor will protect his family. Kyle will confess to Lola, Paul will take control and Victoria will learn shocking news about JT. Sharon will stand by Rey, Devon will extend an olive branch, Abby will stand her ground and Ashley will shock the Abbotts. Kerry will also hire a new intern named Dominique Carroll and Phyllis will find that concerning. Spoilers from the mag say that the intern holds a secret that could turn Jabot upside down. Billy will also worry about Victoria, Rey will romance Sharon, and Nikki will confide in Paul.
I wonder what shocking news Ashley has for the Abbotts. I wonder what secret the new intern Dominque holds. I wonder if she may be related to somebody. I wonder if Dominque could be a secret Abbott or something. It also sounds like Devon will be extending a branch out to Ana's dad Jett and SOD mentions when Devon met Elena he felt a spark. And I think that JT has a health issue. Maybe a tumor. He did pass out after holding his head.

I really like Zach Tinker/his Fen. But Fen didn't do much/wasn't on much.
I had wondered why Michael Mealor didn't get a nod for Younger actor. He has done a very nice job as Kyle and has made the role his own. But I think he may be a little too old to qualify. I think he's 26.
Congrats to Bryton, Mishael and Peter Bergman on their nominations.

I wonder if Josh will try and fix Lola. She is very immature and I think largely because of that, you really can't put her with just anybody. She really treated Kyle poorly, and I wonder if we will see an adjustment in her attitude, now that Kyle has married Summer. Or if she will act the way she's been acting, where she constantly puts Kyle down, doesn't really accept him. I understand things will be different now that he's married, but I wonder if she will attempt to fight for Kyle or mostly blame him/Summer for the marriage.
I agree it's a shame that Fen has disappeared. I really liked his chemistry with Ana and their friendship that could have turned into more. He hasn't been taping in a while and Zach Tinker's hair has grown some, since he last taped, lol. I wish they would bring him back.

Someone posted a video of some scenes from next week's episodes. Paul's back.
I wonder what Rey will do now for a living now that Paul is firing him. Also, Arturo comes clean with Abby and it looks like Abby may end up beating somebody's care with a hammer, I don't know if it's Arturo's or Mia's car.

The writings credits are now saying being written by Josh Griffin and Mal Young. I think on today's show and yesterday as well, you could see Josh' s influence in the writing. I believe he may have decided to make the decision to have Mia really sleep with Arturo instead of him just walking away like originally happened. Arturo really is a big hypocrite. He bashed/threatened Kyle for kissing Summer after Lola broke up with him, but Arturo cheated on Abby when they were together, with his brother's wife again.
I wonder what will end up happening with this storyline involving the introduction of Ana's dad. It still seems like Ana isn't telling the whole truth for some reason. Jet doesn't seem like he's really being deceptive, but I do wonder if there is more to this storyline. Elena is very cute and I could see her and romance eventually happening between her and Devon.
Also, I wonder what type of complications Summer has from her surgery. I do think this may force Kyle to tell more people that she's the donor and I also think it may make him realize he cares for Summer more than he realizes.

I'm glad Victoria Rowell, and Mishael Morgan will participate in the special tribute to Kristoff. That's how it should be, especially Victoria participating in it. You can't really fully talk about Neil's life without mentioning Dru. I'm glad she will be featured. I also am glad that Shemar is coming back for a few episodes.

A lot of us Kyle fans are actually enjoying Summer/Kyle together this time around.(Though, I've also noticed there is quite a bit of Kyle/Lola fans as well and there has been some verbal sparring going on among these two fanbases, lol). Myself and a lot of the Kyle fans I've interacted with think that Summer is being written much better this time around. (Definitely better than when she was trying to throw herself at Billy and trying to hurt Phyllis.) Kyle seems like he can relax more and be himself around Summer. I like how husbandly he is acting towards her. Plus, a lot of us don't like Lola, and don't want Kyle with her. IMO the love scene was nice and romantic and I think overall his dynamic with Summer is better than the one he has with Lola.
I wonder where Josh will go with this triangle this time around. I think he is actually writing things favorably for Summer though, Kyle is still claiming Lola as the love of his life for now. I do believe that Kyle has stronger feelings than he lets on for Summer and that will come to the surface, especially now that it looks like she may have some complications from her surgery.
Michael Mealor posted this pic and asked fans which woman they prefer him with. I do like the picture and am glad that the show is writing for the young people on it, even if I don't like all the characters involved.
In the past it has felt like the show does not feature the young people enough, so I'm glad they are getting storylines now.

Right now it looks like Elena is Ana's cousin. Maybe she's the biological child of one of his siblings. The only other way I believe she could be his niece is through marriage. But it doesn't look like he's married.
If she's his biological niece and Ana is his biological daughter then that means Devon might get romantically involved with his sister's cousin. Which is kind of uhh.... But soaps do stuff like that.
Also, I wonder if Jeff may end up being paired with Abby. I could see her and Arturo breaking up now it's been revealed he really did sleep with Mia during the snowstorm.

From what I've seen there wasn't any casting call for an older black male. Brandon was the one who was listed as being casted as a recurring musician character for four episodes. He is described as having a rock and roll aura and having a killer smile. Brandon is supposed to be in his mid to late 30's. Jeff is supposed to be a sexy black driven male in his late 20s to early 30s. Jeff was the one that people thought was either replacing Nate or maybe even a recast Nate. I believe Brandon, Jeff, and Jet are all three different characters. I wonder if the addition of Jet was added in there after Kristoff passed away.
I wonder if there is more to this story. It seems like Devon thinks there is. I don't understand Ana's attitude towards Devon and it doesn't make sense that she would keep this from Devon. He would help her and her father. They are family. This secret doesn't justify her sneaking around in the manner she was. I do believe her secret was changed and I originally think it did involve someone else in the music industry (like maybe the guy she claimed sold her music).
On the bright side, Elena is very cute. I could see something eventually developing between her and Devon. Or maybe Nate if he stays around.

I am glad that she is not tied up with the Rosales either. Also, regarding the casting calls, Jeff is supposed to be a sexy, successful, driven black man in his late 20's to early 30s. Brandon is another character that is supposed to be a musician in his mid to late 30s. He is supposed to be handsome and it is mentioned he could be of any ethnicity. He is supposed to be popular on the club circuit. Brandon is supposed to be a recurring character that is on for at least four episodes.
Here is a bit more information about Jet that is mentioned on scenes from tomorrow's show.
Devon mentions that Jet was a very popular R&B singer from 98-2004. Ana decided to look for Jet about a year ago and with Harmony's help found him. Jet had no idea that he had a daughter, he mentioned Harmony never said anything to him. Him and Ana are happy to have found each other and have gotten very close. Devon wants to know why Ana kept Jet a secret from him. Ana says she doesn't want to get into why she didn't tell Devon about Jet in the motel room.
Jet says he doesn't want to cause any trouble between Ana/Devon. Devon mentions how relationships can be complex, and Ana says Jet hasn't asked her for anything. She then tells Devon she didn't tell him about her father, because they didn't want handouts from Devon. She gets a bit of an attitude towards Devon and Devon asks why they are resentful towards him wanting to help them. Jet then tells Devon/Ana to stop and ends up seeming a bit upset and weary. Elena then asks Devon/Ana to leave so Jet can rest.

People who have seen tomorrow's show, (including someone who helps does recap on soapcentral) says that Mal's name is still in the credits. I do believe that Josh is having some influence, and is tweaking things. I think he may have rewritten Mia/Arturo sleeping together the night of the snowstorm. He is also responsible for getting Eileen/Ashley to come back later this month and he is the one who will be finishing up this JT storyline. I wouldn't be surprised if he has his hand in this storyline regarding Ana's dad. I wonder if he changed her secret or altered it in some way.
There also wasn't any casting news spoiled or hinted at all about her dad being cast. I didn't see any casting calls for a middle age gentleman fitting the description of Ana's father. His appearance was a surprise. I wonder if they decided to bring him on to eventually have him act as a Patriarch of the Hamilton-Winters family, with Neil's character departing.
